I've got some volkl chopsticks at dimensions 148/128/148 mm and they're 175 cm in length. Should I go with these skins and what length and size should I get. I think I would have to go with the 140 mm but my tip and tails are still wider.. will this result in a problem skinning up the mountain?

Long 140mm will be perfect. The ski tapers quickly so that the open 4mm on each side at the tip won't make a big difference in skinning. Enjoy!
